Score 89/100 · Drink 2006, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2006
Dark red. The 1964 Barolo presents an uncharacteristically youthful dark red color. It used to be quite common for estates to blend a little Barbera into Barolo and my guess is that this wine is not 100% Nebbiolo. It is a richly structured wine that displays mature aromas and sweet dark fruit with good overall depth of expression, although it is not as well-balanced as the best wines in this grouping. My sense is that this Barolo will keep for at least another decade, but I don't see it improving much, if at all, from where it is today.
